Awarded the Contract.

Messrs. VIM. "A. Shipley and b. G.
Sunderland, presidents of the Anne Arun-
del and Howard boards of County Com
missioners, awarded on Saturday the con
tract for building new iron bridge over
Deep Run, between Howard and Anne
Arundel counties to the King Iron Bridge
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, for 81, las.
The bridge will be in two spans, so feet
each, and will be built en- abutments Of
solid masonry. The specifications were
at first made out for a wooden structure,
but the commissioners of both counties
deemed it wiser to have the bridge con-
structed of iron, although the cost of the
latter will be somewhat greater

Bursting of the Water Main.

The large water main near the reser-
voir, which supplies the city with water,
bufsted on Friday, and flooded the en-
tire place for considerable distance around.
Notice was given to consumers late on
Saturday evening to supply themselves
with water enough 10 last for twenty,four
hours as the break required the shutting
off of all the water until the damage
could be repaired Mr.. John johnson
plumber of this city, was given the job,
and he proceeded to the break with o
force of workmen about o'clock on Sat
urday night, and in less than five hours
after he had got to work, he had the
damage repaired About eight feet of
new pipe was put in place of the old that
had bursted The break is supposed to
have been caused from flaw in the pipe
and the great pressure of water on the
place, together with the frost in the
ground Every available empty in the
house was filled with water, and provis-
ion made for long siege, but before the
household had an occasion to use it, the
water was running as before. 1t Is said
to have been one of the most expeditions
jobs ever done for the company.

Commander Plowman, of the oyster
navy, says he has investigated the report
made by Sheriff Sellman that some seven
ty vessels were engaged in violating the
oyster law off Thomas's Point last Sun
day, and has come to the conclusion that
the sheriff must be mistaken as to the To-
cality. Commander Plowman says the
police schooner Folly was stationed at
the point designated all day Sunday and
the steamer McLane portion of the day,
and he is satisfied no depredations what
ever occurred on the oyster bars in that
locality on the day named. A number of
tongmen who were on the bars last Sun
day say there was no dredging there.

No Application for the Free Delivery

Frederick is the first city so far in Mary
land to make application for the free de-
livery, under the recent Act of Congress
giving letter carriers to cities having over
10000 inhabitants and whose income ex-
ceeds $4,000. Annapolis has made no
application for the benefit of the law yet,
which we suppose will be done as soon as
our new postmaster is commissioned and
is indicted into office. All that is neces-
sary is for a little action and we will get
it. Let some of our public-spirited citi-
zens who have plenty of spare time, start
a paper for signatures. Annapolis is en-
titled, under the law, to these letter car
riers, and we might as well get the bene-
ct of it as for the money to lay idle locked
up in the Treasury vaults. Let some
poor, worthy citizen have the benefit of
it; as it will be spent in some other way.

Mr.. Editor IL saw in your paper a
few days ago a notice of lively fox
chase near this place, and judging that
the public may think that we have a great
many foxes in this section, want to say
that Notwithstanding the repeated hunts
lately, there are not few foxes still
lurking around, which arc somewhat
similar in their tactics and actions, but
are not such good runners, although they
run well for a short time; yet the fact of
their having only one-half as many feet
their ability to compete with the four
legged animals Is greatly lessened. and
therefore they have TO use their deccp-
tive powers in another direction. Not
wishing TO be too hard on these foxes,
will tell you something of very pleas

VIM. l.. Watts, Friday evening. There

tions sent out so that large gathering Of

The reduction Of internal revenue and
the taking of of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers. as well
as relieving the burden of home manu-
features. Especially Is this the case with
Greca's duqust Fl0rer and B0schec's Ger
man Syrup, as the reduction of thirty six
cents per dozen, has been added to in
crease the size of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one-ffth
